Subject

Fw: (Please disregard previous email and use this one) Edits for Revised
O3 NFR preamble 









With respect to the comments on the footnote 15 on p. 30 of the draft
preamble concerning PRB, attached is a revised footnote with our
proposed language for the preamble.

I checked with Dr. Pinto and the CD did not discuss year-to-year
variability in PRB.  While we expect the variability to be within the
noise of the estimated range, there is nothing specifically in the CD
that allows us to address this.  

I also checked the CASAC specific comments by Dr. Russell and he was
discussing the overall approach in his comments and doesn't mention the
2001 year at all.  Therefore, we don't propose to make any revisions to
p.132.  We had already included the phrase "using 2001 meteorology" on
pages 129 and 130, in addition to the inclusion of "2001" in footnote 15
on p. 30 in the edits sent yesterday.
